Giants WR Ramses Barden, who finally has broken out in his fourth season, was humble the day after the biggest game of his career; “Obviously I would like as many opportunities as possible,” Barden said. “We got a talented group. We got an All-Pro group. . . . I just want to be an asset wherever I can.”

The Cowboys opted not to use many blitzes against the Seahawks and QB Russell Wilson last Sunday. “If we did, that kid would have woke up missing,” defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. (Instead, Ryan’s defense never showed up.)

I try so hard to like the Ryan clan, but every time they open their mouths, they come across as idiots. In this case, Rob comes off as a football idiot. If you thought that blitzes would have rattled the rookie QB, why didn’t you blitz? Did Coach Jerry tell you your defensive strategy?

Falcons to L.A. isn’t that far-fetched. The negotiations to build the stadium aren’t complete and legislators in Fulton County are considering legislation to revoke the ability for the county to implement the 1% hotel-motel sales tax that was supposed to finance the bonds.

Goodell isn’t going to be able to come to Georgia like he did in MN and push around guys until he gets a bill. He needs to come to Blank’s aide with some Georgia folks before it gets ugly in January, when the legislature comes to town.
